In this episode, Kolin and Kyle discuss step number one of a tax-efficient retirement plan: provisional income. Provisional income is used to determine whether a portion of your Social Security benefits are taxable. The four components of provisional income are non-taxable interest, ordinary income, dividends and capital gains, and half of the household Social Security benefit. They provide examples of two different strategies: the traditional strategy, where most income is subject to federal tax rates, and a tax-efficient strategy, where proactive tax planning is used to lower the tax bill and keep more of the Social Security benefits. They emphasize the importance of running the numbers and considering different strategies to maximize tax efficiency in retirement.
